What is your next move?
Tatu Collective works as an embedded partner to organisations delivering nature based solutions, helping strengthen their direction, raise funds and find their voice. If your organisation is growing, changing direction or facing a challenge that needs experienced capacity, we work alongside you to build what is needed next.
Why Tatu
The people closest to the work usually know what needs to be done. They understand their landscapes, communities and conservation challenges deeply, and bring years of practical and technical experience. As organisations grow, the challenge is often building the structure, systems, funding and communications around that expertise. Tatu works alongside teams to strengthen those foundations, so they can focus on the work itself and have the resources to do it well.
Doing the work well often depends on expertise that sits behind the scenes, but growing organisations cannot always justify building full teams around every need. Tatu brings that expertise together around the people already doing the work.
Strategy, priorities, organisational structures, planning, budgets, management systems and practical tools that make it easier to lead.
Fundraising strategy, funding landscapes, donor positioning, proposals, pipelines, grants systems and stronger fundraising teams.
Positioning, communications strategy, storytelling, media, film and digital communications that help organisations explain their work clearly.
How we work
Whether we work together for two months or two years, the aim remains the same, to leave an organisation better structured, more confident and increasingly able to lead the work itself.
We spend time with your team to understand your ambitions and challenges before we suggest anything.
We build strategies, tools and systems together with you.
We stay alongside your team as you put the work into practice, testing and adjusting in real situations.
As confidence and capacity grow, your team takes the lead.
We work with conservation organisations at different stages and scales, from community led institutions to international funds and conservation technology organisations.
Africa and Asia
RRF supports field projects with funding, connections and expertise. Tatu supported the development of its strategy, designed lean organisational systems and provided fundraising capacity around priority needs.
Global
EarthRanger provides technology that helps field projects manage and protect wildlife and landscapes. Tatu supports branding and external communications during a period of organisational transition.
Tanzania
Six Rivers Africa works alongside government in Ruaha and Nyerere. Tatu supported the development of its organisational strategy, fundraising plan and external communications.
Kenya
Archipelagus works with government and communities to strengthen the long term management of protected areas and surrounding landscapes.
With experience across more than 30 countries and organisations including African Parks, Grumeti Fund, Boston Consulting Group, community led organisations, and young conservation initiatives, we combine conservation on the ground knowledge with the organisational disciplines that help institutions grow, attract funding and sustain their work.
Around the founding team sits a trusted network of specialists across areas including finance, executive coaching, monitoring and evaluation, design, communications and organisational development. We build the team around the organisation and the problem, rather than forcing every engagement into the same model.
